Lightly used. Very crisp, clean and bright inside and out with the exception of some light marks to the white covers. Ex-libris Nick Legon, Kew mycologist and author of the Basidiomycota checklist, whose signature is on the FFEP, along with a ‘with thanks for your help’ from an unknown hand. Keys and descriptions for 394 poroid fungi known from Europe out of which 210 are illustrated with colour pictures. Black and white drawings are provided for 120 representative species; besides s pore drawings are given for some larger genera. Macro- and microscopical characters are described and illustrated and decay and pathological significance are discussed. The taxonomic concepts are conservative and pragmatic as the book is primarily a tool for species identification and not a study of the phylogeny of the poroid fungi. Six new combinations are proposed.
